In July the prosecutor recommended life sentences for Cruz- -rather than give him credit for "substantial assistance."
Though Cruz remains on the lam- -presumably in Columbia- -his lawyer argued today that the court should reconsider and depart from the sentencing guidelines to give Cruz a break ...in recognition for all his undercover drug trafficking work.
Judge James Turk refused, though he encouraged Cruz's lawyer to appeal.
